My daughter died in a car accident at the age of 17 - my wife's world was shattered and still is - there's not a day that passes when she doesn't think of her. It took my a year before I could grieve for her because I 'thought' I had to be the rock and provide stability for the family. The timing is wrong - a child isn't supposed to pass before the parent. My wife's grandmother outlived all three of her children - she was the living example of faith. I watched my dad die of small cell carcinoma of the lungs, my mom of congestive heart failure...and I wonder how I'll go and if I can be as gracious in death as they were. Life teaches us to be stronger than we can ever imagine - the old cliche is correct. Thanks for sharing, it blessed me.Chappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784768597237576785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31204776.post-79253813843017121462007-03-12T08:09:00.000-04:002007-03-12T08:09:00.000-04:00In a perfect world ..Our needs are met...We are as...In a perfect world ..<BR/>Our needs are met...<BR/>We are assured of our parents love..<BR/>In an imperfect world.. we do the best we can..and hope we are loved....<BR/>Now start healing for you and your family..<BR/>Thank you for sharing this...pet campbellhttp://petsgardenblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31204776.post-86525970934948520922007-03-04T14:55:00.000-05:002007-03-04T14:55:00.000-05:00Man, that was a rough read.....inspiring, still, n...Man, that was a rough read.....inspiring, still, no doubt.<BR/><BR/>Nothing more I could add; you totally took my breath away.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602144303531594094noreply@blogger.com
